Nissan Leaf Vs Hyundai Kona Electric Comparison Review | Which sub-$60,000 EV is better to buy?

[@ProductReviewCars]

Correction @ 13:48 The Hyundai Kona Electric Extended Range has a 150kWh powertrain. The Standard Range has an 100kWh powertrain. Whoops...

Don’t park your Hyundai Kona EV inside because it could catch fire Hyundai is recalling more than 80,000 EVs over battery fire concerns The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a recall for 2019-2020 Hyundai Kona and 2020 Hyundai Ioniq electric vehicles after over a dozen battery fires were reported. The agency is also warning owners against parking their vehicles near their homes or any flammable structure. An electrical short in the Kona’s lithium-ion battery cells increases the risk of fire while parked, charging, and driving, NHTSA said, adding, “The safest place to park them is outside and away from homes and other structures.”

Thank you so much really enjoyed your reviews of the cars 👍🏻

[@ProductReviewCars]

Thank you for watching!

[@sarahdon3165]

Thank you for your kind reply am so looking forward to my first new car ever and it’s the EV Kona it will arrive next week so watching your review has made me very excited now xx 🥰🥰

[@DonWood1]

Very useful, thanks. We are choosing between these two (US versions) right now.

[@ProductReviewCars]

No worries! Thanks for watching! Plenty more options in the US for EVs that's for sure.

[@jestronixhanderson9898]

And....... the battery is cooled in the Kona, giving a much longer life, particularly for fast charging.

[@ProductReviewCars]

Very true. Plus the new generation of Hyundai and Kia's EVs can charge at rates as high as 350kW.

[@carlojoeffreypagaragan7573]

hoping govt in the Philippines gives incentives to people buying one of these

[@skepticalmechanic]

Once you have an electric car you will never go back to a Dinosaur burner...

[@ProductReviewCars]

I sure do miss driving EVs when I have to hand them back.

[@bigyin2586]

If only electric cars had manual transmissions to make motoring journalists even happier.

[@ProductReviewCars]

I mean they made a custom Corvette with one…wouldn’t mind a go in that.

[@skepticalmechanic]

62KWH and that's not usable unlike Hyundai's 64KWh which is all usable... The leaf is just so out dated but After incentives I can get the top SL plus model for $26,000

[@oldgunowner]

Your right Brian, the lead is actually a nice driving car, quiet, comfortable ride, low noise and nice seats. It is a hatchback so it's seating is lower but I find the door opening to be bigger than the kona .for entering and exiting.

[@bougossfrancoaustralotuns]

26k new?

[@skepticalmechanic]

@@bougossfrancoaustralotuns yes new

[@RCALivingStereo]

Thing is no one is going to buy these, just a small percentage of people. They need to make them so the average person can afford them.

[@ProductReviewCars]

Hopefully enough people buy them new. It's the only way we'll get cheaper ones more quickly.

[@obi-wankenobi8446]

Can buy one for £13,000 now

I ordered a Kona EV 😊❤️👍 But have to wait 7months for it 😣

[@ProductReviewCars]

Congrats! Queue is out the door for a lot of EVs :(

[@AliKazi]

@@ProductReviewCarsthank you 🙂, I know 😔 it's going to be a very long Wait ☹️

[@sarahdon3165]

It’s absolutely worth wait honestly you’ll be over the moon with it 🥰 and the time will pass quickly 👍🏻

[@AliKazi]

@@sarahdon3165 awww thank you 🥰👍 I hope by some miracle it comes earlier then expected. Have you got one ? If so what's your experience likes and dislikes?

[@sarahdon3165]

@@AliKazi I pick mine up on Wednesday. Loved it during the test drive which was SE trim but I’ve got the premium trim as that had everything I need and more tbh . So am excited now took a long time to wait but it’s totally worth it . Xx

El hyundai le dura más la pila

[@mrgurulittle7000]

Kona looks ugly! Nissan has all the problems sorted out so buy Nissan

[@markvisser388]

Hyundai has proven that they don't know how to manage batteries and can't even put them correctly. I stick with Nissan.

[@ProductReviewCars]

Interesting. Will be curious to see how I go with the IONIQ 5.
